It seems that it's been ages since I've made something new. I spent all week last week finishing my 130 Christmas cards (thanks, Kelly, for all your help!) and fighting the flu at the same time. I'm getting better everyday - thanks for your prayers. I have two cards to show you today and I really enjoyed making them, after a long absence from my craft table.

I used one of the Layers of Colors free digis, their party favors, for my card. The owner and artist behind all the LOC stamps is my good friend, Laura. She is an amazing artist and one who shares my love for Christ. It's been an honor to get to know her, even only through our cyber "visits." Make sure you check out her newest releases. They are all fantastic, especially if you love vintage style images and butterflies. Now, the card...I colored the image with Copics. The paper is my own design. The music stamp is from my Vintage Borders set. The cardstocks I used are Smoky Slate and Cranberry Tart.

Next is my card for Moxie Fab's Plum Crazy Challenge. I didn't go monochromatic, but complementary on this card. I just love the yellow and purple together. The sketch follows the Get Sketchy challenge this week (I flipped it sideways), with the added bonus to use markers. I colored the butterfly with Copics and Sharpies together.

Such beautiful cards Nina!!! So glad that you could play along with us over at Cinema Saturday!!! LOVe your "romanesque card" - such pretty and lovely colors!!! Hope you had fun and will play along with us soon!!!Hugs and happy wishes,Sankari :)

Beautiful as always! You never cease to amaze me, Nina!!! Hey girl, saw your comment on Mox Fab...I'm shopping tomorrow - if I find any 'goodies' I'll get back to you for an address and you will have some too!!!! Isn't that collection divine??? Have a great day!

Nina!Welcome to cinema challenges.. I totally love the Roman inspiration you added to you card. The colors are Fab! All the little derails like music and pearls just perfect. You are such an amazing artist.. Thank you so much for playing along.. Come play again soon.HugsBrooke

Yowser! Another beautiful card with LOC digi for sure, but that butterfly card is truly a feast for the eyes. I love everything about it, right down to the fabulous lace and pearls! And I want some of that fabulous DP from both cards. Can we look forward to it in a Gina K release? I hope I hope I hope!

I've already put my order in for LOC stamps. Laura is so sweet. She sent Kristine, Kathy and I a set of Butterfly Collector to sample. I love those butterflies.
